A bit about me.
As a Talent Partner for SyncD – I help forward-thinking businesses recruit the best Design, Product and UX talent in the market to enhance and deliver their digital transformation projects and programmes.
My expertise
My key skills focus on immersing myself in the respective disciplines I recruit within and building candidate talent communities. I also pride myself on ensuring a transparent line of communication with our candidates and clients, ensuring they both get the best out of the recruitment experience.
I have also had some fantastic opportunities through building networks of hidden talent in the market, one of which was being invited to the University of Westminster to sit on a panel with 19 other education and industry professionals (still a pinch-me moment!). During this event, I spoke about how university courses could be improved to bridge the gap between a study environment and a commercial working environment.
My background, prior to joining SyncD.
Having started my career in retail, I progressed all the way up to Area Manager – looking after six stores, including two flagship stores with a team of around 80 people. The internal recruitment exposure in this role became the natural Segue into the recruitment industry for me four years ago.
I started my journey in recruitment, working exclusively within VR/AR/XR, before moving on to computer gaming and tech disciplines – covering a broad spectrum of entry-level to C level positions.
Why I joined SyncD.
I joined SyncD as I was looking for a more client-centric role where I could partner with clients and embed myself in their world. I was also excited by the opportunities for further impact and the rapid growth of SyncD.
What’s my biggest feel-good moment since joining SyncD.
Feeling supported from day one, nothing has been rushed, and I like the fact I am encouraged to speak up, make suggestions or ask for help – which is so important.
When I am not working.
I am a house and techno music fanatic, so you will probably find me being a social butterfly at any event where there’s music on! As much as I love the dance floor, I also love exploring the outdoors and going on hikes with my friends! Other than that, I’m (fairly) normal
